Employers

Employers can use the calculator tool to calculate SG contributions. Using the drop-down box on the first screen, you can select to apply the minimum SG rate or increase the rate based on the arrangement you have with your employees.

Employees

Employees should use the Estimate my super tool. This is designed to help you determine whether you are eligible for SG contributions and whether your employer is paying the correct amount.

Information you need

Before you start, you will need the following information:

the personal details of your employees, including their name (optional) and super fund details (optional)

the amount that superannuation is payable on for each employee for the period.

Entering your data

As an employer, you should be aware of the SG eligibility criteria and the maximum contribution base.

The calculator has been designed so you can calculate SG contributions weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly, based on your business needs. Consequently, this calculator tool does not incorporate the SG eligibility criteria or the maximum contribution base.

Printing your calculation

You can't save your calculations. We recommend you print a copy for your records.

To print the summary, you must have access to a printer.

Click on the Print button and the summary will be printed.
